Environmental Education and Awareness

Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival

The Kuala Lumpur Eco Film Festival is EcoKnights’ flagship event which aims to engage the Malaysian public on environmental issues through films and videos. Already in its sixth year, EK strategically uses this programme as a platform to engage creative film makers to produce local environmental materials for the international market.

Knights of Nature Sustainability Camp

Knights of Nature Sustainability Camp is an inspiring and action packed camp specially designed for youths with passionate hearts for Mother Nature. It is not only an exclusive learning experience with our current elite Knights but also an opportunity to build close friendship and have some crazy amount of fun. The curriculum for “Knights of Nature Sustainability Camp” has been developed with a vision of delivering a 3 days 2 nights camp for youths between the ages of 15 and 23. The goal of the camp is to increase youth knowledge and awareness about the global ecological crisis, with the hope that this increased awareness will help moderate the behavior of future generations and inspire political action for positive environmental and social change.

Sentinels of Time - Digital Photography Competition

The Sentinels of Time photography competition is a contest that asks participants to capture digital images of majestic landscapes in urban and rural areas of Malaysia. The idea is to get as many people as possible to record, document, and describe these locations through photos. Because the preservation of Malaysia’s natural beauty is so important, the competition doubles as a platform to enhance the awareness of the need to conserve, protect, and maintain urban and natural landscapes in Malaysia.

The aim of this competition is to engage amateur and professional photographers to “see” natural and urban life as a singular phenomenon that can be important for the entire ecosystem. Because humans and their natural surroundings are necessarily intertwined, the competition’s goal is to highlight and showcase those instances where the two coexist in harmony.

Cintai Tioman

The Cintai Tioman Program is an integrated approach to assist in increasing the ecological and social resilience of the Island of Tioman.

From activities on coral reef rehabilitation to community-based engagements, Cintai Tioman aims to help reduce the impact of human activites on coral reefs around Tioman Island, and also empower the local communities to get involved in the management and conservation of the island’s resources.
